| Biography: A musical collaboration which encompasses a wide variety of musical styles while always maintaining a distinctive style of it's own. The key word is collaboration as each of the members of the Reid Project bring something unique to the table and provide a sense of energy and urgency to the music. The range of material is very wide and listeners can expect to hear anything from funk to jazz to blues to rock. Lonnie Reid (guitar and backup vocals): Lonnie played in a number of R&B and fusion bands in the early eighties before taking a twelve year hiatus from performing. Returned to the live music scene when he joined Bluelite Special. Shortly afterwards he and Terry Reid (Reid Brothers) along with Butterscotch collaborated to form The Reid Project. Benny Mostella (trumpet, lead and backgroud vocals): Benny aka BJ is a truely gifted musician. Has worked with a number of jazz combos and worked with legendary bluesman Robert Lockwood Jr. before joining the Reid Project. Had he been born fifty years earlier you would probably be reading about him in the jazz history books. Tim Jackson (bass): A truley gifted and original bassist. Man this guy can flat out play!! We are very fortunate to have found Tim and we are looking forward turning up the wick now that we have found him. Keith Daniels (drums): Long time area r&b drummer and his resume is entirely to long to list. Let's just say he is the energizer. Special Guests Terry Reid: Bass, guitar and vocals Bob Frey: Saxophones Scott Smith: Vocals Suave Gotti: Rap |
